2026 Porsche Panamera
Car and Driver says following the introduction of the E-Hybrid and GTS models last year, Porsche gave the Panamera only minor infotainment-focused updates for 2026: a faster, more responsive 10.9-inch central display with a new app center, Dolby Atmos surround sound on the optional Bose and Burmester systems, and Amazon Alexa as an integrated voice assistant. MSRP runs $115,350-$169,250. MotorTrend says standard Surround View with Active Parking Support (self-parking), quieter Turbo E-Hybrid and Turbo S E-Hybrid models thanks to noise-insulating glass, updated USB-C ports sharing 60 watts across two ports, a new Level 2 charger for plug-in hybrid models, and Porsche Connect now free for 10 years round out the changes; MotorTrend says the gas-powered Panamera still holds appeal as a quick, premium four-door with nearly 500 miles of range in some configurations, even though some MotorTrend editors prefer the Taycan, and says the Panamera's gas and hybrid variants compete with the BMW 8-Series Gran Coupe, Mercedes-AMG 4-Door Coupe, and the electric Porsche Taycan.
